Hello, so is there a way to get legacy edge running on Windows 11? Here is where I am at so far

  • I have uninstalled Chromium Edge
  • I have copied the Legacy Edge files from a copy of Windows 10 2004
  • I have deleted the AppData files for Edge
  • I have ran the following powershell commands
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.MicrosoftEdgeDevToolsClient | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($
    .InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
  • I have disabled CodeIntergirty by using this trick https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/msix/desktop/desktop-to-uwp-test-windows-s#first-download-the-policies-and-then-choose-one

Edge will open but it will not show any elements of the browser and will eventually crash what could be causing this issue? What files do I need to add or replace? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Warning
Disabling Code-Integrity is really bad!

Legacy Edge seems to use an internal component that has been changed in Win11.
AFAIK there's no (easy) solution to fix this...

What would the difficult solution involve doing exactly?, do you know what component has been changed exactly do you have any suggestions?

There is no real solution.
You would likely have to patch the edge executable...
